The Sugar Shack is back and BETTER than ever! If you haven't been since the fire, this is your sign. If you've never been before, this is your DOUBLE sign. The new inside is spacious, clean, and comfortable. The patio is as awesome as it was before. The burgers are the same which is what makes this place special. Lastly the service is fantastic. The servers are so friendly and helpful. The young guy with the blonde hair is a gem. If you are making your way through the hills and want to feel like a local, this is your stop. Order the best burger of your life and enjoy! read more

We had a big group come out for lunch. Service was amazing, the patio is great and all the food was delish! Glad they rebuilt after the fire. They were a staple for us last time we visited the hills. read more

The women help at the restaurant need training in being courteous. I was visiting the Black Hills at a B&B, and my laptop couldn't find their WI-FI. I had to finish work for a customer that would take 15 minutes. I go to the sugar shack ( 15 miles away) and ask to use their Wi-Fi, sit down order a beer, tipped double the norm. After 10 minutes, more people come in with a group, the bar tender told ( not nicely) me that they need my chair for the other people and to move at the bar. Since I was in the middle of some calculations connected to a VPN, I could not. Oh..yeah, I offered all the chairs around my table to their guests. Jeeez....if was very obvious that I was not surfing the web for shopping. Kindness goes a long way, in this case there wasn't any. read more

Great breakfast. Wonderful service. Pancakes bigger than your head! Fish Fry on Fridays too!

The Sugar Shack on US385 south of Deadwood SD... A great little restaurant, an icon of the Black Hills. Sadly, it burned down on the night of December 13, 2023. The owner has talked about rebuilding. I hope it happens. read more

Best burger in the area. In a beautiful mountain roadside market. Out door seating with picnic tables under canopies. Support the local people and you won't be disappointed. read more

This is a very popular local basic burger restaurant. It is in a very old building the food is good and the stairway is an adventure see pictures. The breakfast run between eight and $12 and the lunches between nine and $14 which are mostly burgers. The food is a little above average but enjoyable dining experience for the local area. read more

First time here and it was Saturday of Labor Day weekend. Service was surprisingly fast and food was excellent. Our server was super friendly (didn't catch her name. young brunette). We enjoyed the veggie burger and chili fries! read more

This place use to be amazing. What ever has changed it is sad. Place was awful except for the service. Service was great but the food was sub par at best. I would skip this place. Chicken fingers were brought out frozen in the middle then overcooked and dry. Burgers taste like they come from frozen bricks and were dry. My son could use them for hockey practice. Look at my other reviews as I try to only post good but when I get food this rough I have to let others know. Sorry this place is a hard skip!!!!!! read more

Best burgers in the hills ....BUT we frequent there 3-5 times a year and the the place needs some maintenance. The basement bathrooms are always flooded and now forced to use portable potty. The tables were all dirty , flies everywhere and the sign is falling down and faded. The owners used to show pride and now I believe it's just all about the $$$$ read more

Great roadside burgers. Worth a stop. While the burgers are frozen they are juicy, the atmosphere is energetic, and the service is great. I sat inside with a great view of them cooking 20 plus burgers at a time. read more

Quick, delicious greasy food! Perfect for a morning breakfast before a ride in the mountains on some curvy roads! A must try!

Best burgers in the hills!! Whenever my family and I are out in the hills we always have to stop at sugar shack!

Worst place ever for customer service!!! Skip it! Came in with a large group and ordered food to go as we waited for a table. Table opened and we sat down before the food was ready. When the food was ready instead of letting us eat, they kicked us out. Extremely rude staff. read more

We chose the Sugar Shack ahead of time and included it in our recent vacation itinerary after studying it online. I wanted to go there for their famous hamburgers, unfortunately we were there at 9 a.m. while they were still serving breakfast. However, after explaining that we had come all the way from Texas and this would be our only shot at having one of their burgers, our very sweet waitress arranged for me to have their 1/2-pound "Bubba Burger" for breakfast. It was absolutely killer -- big, juicy, fresh, with plenty of fries. Now that's the breakfast of champions. If we're ever in the Black Hills again, the Sugar Shack will be a must stop. Great service and very good food at a decent price in a hole-in-the-wall atmosphere. It doesn't look like much on the outside, but this place is a hit with us. Thanks again to the staff for making a "burger exception" for a hungry Texan. read more

Sugar Shack - Sugar burger - Burgers Near Me - Deadwood, South Dakota

This used to be the only place I would go for a burger. It's still good but the new ownership leaves something to be desired. They have new staff and they aren't nearly as friendly as the previous staff was. Good food but needs work in customer service. read more

Stopped in to get take out breakfast to eat at our vacation house. Service was excellent and food was delicious! Definitely recommend!

This place just isn't good. Other than a cool location, it has nothing going for it. The food is on the low end of acceptable and the wait staff have the personality of wet cats. The people who say that this place has the best burgers are out of their minds and have apparently never had a burger anywhere else. I would only suggest eating here if you are starving and have no other options. read more

Had some friends recommend this place for great burgers! We are now wondering how did we not know about this place sooner! Definitely worth a trip out to the Sugar Shack!! read more

We have enjoyed our first 4 days in the northern Black Hills. Food and service at the Sugar Shack are the best!

Sugar Shack - Burgers Near Me - Deadwood, South Dakota

whenever I'm skiing and feel like eating a good juicy burger I always go to sugar shack, never let me down

This is a restaurant/bar. It's your basic bar fare. Ate breakfast here. Food was good. There is outdoor seating available. Juices are in sealed bottle. Coffee is good. If you like crispy bacon let them know to cook at bit longer otherwise bacon is tasty and eggs cooked well. read more

This place is up for sale (2011), so I can't attest to the quality should it sell and go to someone who can't run a good diner. This is a burger shack, primarily. They have beer, a small menu, fried items. They also serve breakfast. It's a hit with mainly locals and "good ol' boys" who four-wheel in the vicinity and drive their four-wheelers up here to eat and have a beer. There's a large, covered outside patio, too. You'll find it on 385 and it sort of comes up upon you by surprise. I would imagine that tourists also eat here, if they're on their way to/from Deadwood. The Sugar Shack and Boondock's are about the only places to eat if you're on 385 and hungry between Deadwood and Rapid City. They really do make a mean hamburger: fat, big, juicey and good. There's not much atmosphere here though, as the dining area is very small, maybe four tables, then the counter which has maybe five or six stools. But the service has always been good and jolly. That's because the place is so small, the help really can't shirk, because everyone's elbow-to-elbow. Which sort of says something good about small diners. read more
